Nominated by: Anonymous
A CHARITY which has been supporting children, young people and families across Jersey for more than 15 years has been nominated for the Community Champion of the Year award.
The anonymous nominator said Brighter Futures had been transforming lives since 2008 by providing free early-intervention support that “strengthens families before problems escalate into crisis”.
Each week, around 160 families and more than 270 children access the charity’s services.
The nominator said the charity empowered families to develop the confidence and skills to build brighter futures for themselves, while its work also helped reduce pressure on health, education and social care services.
Despite increasing demand and funding challenges, the nominator said the charity continued to innovate, build partnerships and ensure that “no family feels they have to face life’s challenges alone”.
They added that Brighter Futures was “more than a charity, it is a cornerstone of Jersey’s community”, supporting families today while helping “creating stronger communities for tomorrow.”
